Pointer Mate - Acupoint Locator

Contemporary scientific investigations have demonstrated that subcuits
underlying the acupuncture point is a rich supply of nerves and blood
vessels. On the body surface, the electric resistance of acupuncture
points is lower than in its surrounding areas.

Whenever any organ of the
body undergoes pathological changes its corresponding meridian and
points show changes and certain relatively specific pathological
reaction points such as auriculo-acupuncture points, meridian points
appear on the skin surface. The electric resistance of the reactive
points is further lowered than in normal conditions.

It can be readily
located by means of an instrument which is sensitive to resistance
changes.When the probe head touches a low electric resistance point, the
loudspeaker gives a sound signal. Its pitch rises with the lowering of
the electric resistance of the skin.

When meridian points,
auriculo-acupuncture points and reactive points are more accurately
located, more efficient therapeutical results can be obtained while
needling these points.

With this instrument and method of detection,
acupuncture of the points thus located usually produce a strong needling
sensation and satisfactory therapeutical results.

The use of this
instrument makes it easier to locate points, especially for the
beginners. The detecting of auriculo-acupuncture points may also serve as
an aid to diagnosis.
